What Children's Programs Does First Missionary Baptist Church of Redlands Offer?

Updated

First Missionary Baptist Church of Redlands offers a children's program called First Kids Chapel, held on Sundays after the worship time for ages 2–12. The church also holds a Wednesday evening gathering at 7 PM that welcomes all ages, so children can attend alongside the rest of the congregation. If you're planning a visit around your child's age or your Sunday schedule, the details below cover what's available and when.

First Kids Chapel (Sunday)

First Kids Chapel is the church's dedicated children's program. According to the church's service schedule, it takes place Sunday after the worship time and is designed for ages 2 through 12.

Program name First Kids Chapel
Day Sunday
Timing After the worship service
Age range 2–12

How it fits into the Sunday schedule

The Sunday morning lineup runs in this order:

  • 9:45 AM — Sunday School
  • 10:45 AM — Sunday Worship Service
  • After worship — First Kids Chapel (ages 2–12)

Because First Kids Chapel follows the worship service rather than running at the same time, children attend worship with their families first and then go to the children's program afterward. If you're deciding whether to bring your child, this means you don't have to choose between attending the service and having your child in a kids' program — both happen in sequence.

Wednesday Evening Gathering (All Ages)

The church also meets on Wednesday evenings at 7 PM, and this gathering is open to all ages. That makes it an option for families who want a midweek church activity that children can join, rather than a program limited to a specific age group.

Choosing Based on Your Child's Age

The two offerings serve different purposes, so the right fit depends on your child:

  • If your child is between 2 and 12 — First Kids Chapel on Sunday is the age-specific program designed for them.
  • If your child is under 2 or over 12 — First Kids Chapel's stated range doesn't cover them, but the Wednesday 7 PM gathering welcomes all ages.
  • If you want a midweek option — Wednesday at 7 PM is the only midweek service listed, and it's open to every age.

Before You Visit

The church's welcome message states, "Welcome! We would love to see you at church!" — so visitors and new families are explicitly invited. A few practical points to keep in mind:

  • Arrive for the 10:45 AM worship service if you want your child to take part in First Kids Chapel, since the program follows worship rather than preceding it.
  • Check the age fit in advance — the 2–12 range is the only age guidance provided for the children's program.
  • Consider Wednesday at 7 PM if you're looking for an all-ages option or a midweek visit.

For anything not covered here — such as check-in procedures, room locations, or whether First Kids Chapel runs every Sunday — contact the church directly, since the published schedule doesn't specify those details.
